5:1 Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with · God through · our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:2 through whom we have also obtained · access by faith into · this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of sharing the glory of God.
5:3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that · suffering produces endurance,
5:4 · and endurance produces character, · and character produces hope,
5:5 · and hope does not disappoint us, because the love of God has been poured out into · our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
5:6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
5:7 For rarely will one die for an upright person—though perhaps for · a genuinely good person one · might actually dare to die.
5:8 But God demonstrates · his love for us · in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
5:9 Since we have now been justified by · his blood, much more will we be saved from the wrath of God through him.
5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, will we be saved by · his life.
5:11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in · God through · our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now have received · reconciliation.
5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, · and death through · sin, · and so death spread to all men, · because all have sinned—.
5:13 For sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged when there is no law.
5:14 Nevertheless death reigned · from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like · the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the coming one.
5:15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. · For if the many died through the transgression of the one, much more did the grace of God and the gift that came by the grace · of the one man Jesus Christ overflow to the many.
5:16 And the gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin; for the judgment following the one transgression led to condemnation, but the free gift following the many transgressions led to justification.
5:17 For if by the transgression of the one man · death reigned through that one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
5:18 Therefore, just as one man’s transgression brought condemnation for all men, so also one man’s righteous act brought justification and life for all men.
5:19 For just as through one man’s · disobedience · the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience · the many will be made righteous.
5:20 Now the law came in so that the transgression might increase; but where sin increased, · grace increased all the more, ·
5:21 so that just as sin reigned · in · death, so also · grace might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ · our Lord.
